It was a "language inspector" from Homel who made this happen.

The road sign was changed on Lenin Street. It was lawer Ihar Sluchak, a "language inspector" from Homel, who made this happen, intex-press.by writes.

Earlier, Sluchak sent a statement to the Baranavichy department of the traffic police. He drew attention to the fact that in accordance with the traffic rules, the abovementioned sign should be performed only in Belarusian.

The lawyer received an answer. It says that the sign with the Russian-language inscription will be removed, and instead there will be a sign with the Belarusian-language inscription by July 16.

Ihar Sluchak says that the letter about the change of sign was sent as part of the action "Signs in Belarusian to Belarusian streets!" from the initiative "Conditions for language."
